InterRacial Bigotry
Posted: September 25th, 2018, 5:42 am
Gradually over years, I have observed individual instances of interracial bigotry, particularly against Philippine people by Chinese and I wonder what it means.
More specifically, I have
1) personally encountered or known incidents where someone of Chinese or S Korean background would express feelings of superiority over Philippine food, culture, or people.
2) read countless demeaning, degrading and hostile comments online including on this website towards Philippine people, particularly appearance wise and attribute any beauty to the non Philippine mixture.
I see this sense of superiority and downright hostility to resemble those of white supremacists. Some accomplished E Asian people in the media Do E Asians like to point out the difference between E Asians and SE Asians, but I can list accomplishments of SE Asians, no problem. Do E Asians aspire to be like white supremancists?
White Americans were at once culturally fragmented but now they are more group oriented except for the bigotry towards Jewish people. I think Irish Americans and Italian Americans would socialize whereas I don't recall E Asians intermingling with SE or S Asians very often.
Should it be recognized that Asians as a racial and political group lack solidarity and therefore should SE Asians in the U.S. and abroad stop admiring or cheering celebrities that don't belong to their group, avoid supporting films and political campaigns of anyone other from than their own group, and so on?
